This online Catholic Liturgical calendar lays out the 2008 Catholic Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials. Marked beside each observance is the level of festivity, whether the day is a holy day of obligation, if the day is a required fast or abstinence day, and which week of the four-week psalm cycle in the Liturgy of the Hours is to be used. Please see the key below to understand the symbols. Printer-Friendly Version: 2008 Online Catholic Liturgical Calendar (.pdf). We also have a Table of Movable Major Catholic Seasons and Holidays, with future dates of Easter and other movable holidays. We have included December 2008, part of the 2009 liturgical calendar, for your convenience.
We are now offering a physical 2008 Catholic calendar, Seasons and Memories Calendar: Catholic Edition. If you need a preview, please download a complete e-version for free here (62 Mb .pdf) (note: it was not feasible for us to include the amount of information contained here on the physical calendars.
